1959 Map of Pine River SW

About this map

Stony Brook meanders through the central terrain of Cass County in this late 1950s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by its glacial lakes and rural community nodes. The settlement of Mayo and the nearby Mayo Creek Cem serve as focal points for local history, while the rural schoolhouse at Stony Brook Sch and several country churches, including Bethlehem Ch and Grace Ch, mark the social fabric of the era. To the southeast, the Village Boundary of Lake Shore touches the edges of Upper Loon Lake and Loon Lake, showing the early footprint of this lakeside community. The drainage patterns of Home Brook and Cory Brook reveal the low-lying wetlands and dense woodlands that characterized the region before further modern development, providing a clear record for those researching the environmental or genealogical history of this Minnesota lake country.
